2012 Gains and Losses and possible squad

[MattYg1]

I think King will prove to be an 80 minute hooker eventually but I still think that a King and Rein rotation (while we can still afford both in the same team) will give the opposition headaches to no end.

 

[ballbag]

You also have Craig Garvey coming thru as wrll

 

[KiamaSaint]

1. Moltzen
2. Nightingale
3. K. Stanley
4. Cooper
5. Morris

6. Soward
7. Hornby

8. Weyman
9. King
10. Hunt
11. Creagh
12 Scott
13. Young

14. Rein
15. Merrin
16. Prior
17. De Belin

I think you are right, this is the safe team for Price to pick but I hope he takes some risks and looks to the future (puts his own mark on the side):

1. Moltzen
2. Nightingale
3. C. Stanley
4. Cooper
5. Morris

6. K Stanley
7. Soward

8. Merrin
9. King
10. Hunt
11. Creagh
12 Scott
13. Rein

14. Young
15. Weyman
16. Prior (as a prop)
17. Hornby

I like Kyle at 5/8 rather than centre. I would think some of the newly signed big forwards would get a look in on the bench wouldn't they ? Surely we are looking for some outside backs. Back up halves would be good too but there is only Carney around. (we won't want him).

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

Hornby has earned the right to stay there. I see a very good comp next year across the board. We're back to the pack now and I'm sure Price will be putting his own touches on the team.

He'll make changes if required to.

Matt Orford???

 

[nrlnrl]

Matt Orford???

:lol:

I think you're joking, but just in case you're not, there are a few options for back up half - Moltzen, Fien, K.Stanley

 

[Jono1987]

Can't believe people think Hornby will be playing from the bench...Not going to happen even if, as people have pointed out a pairing of K. Stanley and Soward would be promising. The problem I see is that I would prefer to carry K. Stanley on the bench rather than Fien because I believe he is far more versatile. Can't see the coach resigning Fien to have him play as captain/half back for the NSW Cup though. Quite the bind. I mean I'd also love to see King and Rein both play but it's unlikely that would happen either. If I was coach my team would look like;

1. Moltzen
2. Morris
3. C. Stanley
4. Cooper
5. Nightingale
6. K. Stanley
7. Soward
8. Hunt
9. King
10. Weyman
11. Scott
12. Creagh
13. Young (c)

14. Merrin
15. Latimore
16. Ah Mau
17. Rein

*I love Hornby and won't soon forget his enormous contribution to our success over the last three years but, now is the time to make a move to the future

 

[st.phil]

1 Moltzen
2 Morris
3 K Stanley
4 Coops
5 Nighty
6 Soward
7 Hornby
8 Weyman
9 King
10 Merrin
11 Scott
12 Creagh
13 Young
14 Au Mau
15 Hunt
16 De Belin
17 C Stanley

 

[big pat]

Matt Orford???

hornby captain of the 2012 corrimal cougars.

 

[HardcoreDragonsFan]

Unlikely team. Hornby is an appointed captian and benchmark of the Dragons. The team is more likely to be like this:

1. Moltzen
2. Morris
3. Kyle Stanley
4. Cooper
5. Nightingale
6. Soward
7. Hornby (c)
8. Weymen
9. King
10. Merrin
11. Scott
12. Creagh
13. Young

14. Rein
15. Hunt
16. Miller
17. Latimore

Mark Kocass , Boxhead Robinson and Ben Kusto

 

[grouch]

Mark Kocass , Boxhead Robinson and Ben Kusto

All better options than Orford

 

[Father Ted]

The question was who was available not if they were any good

 

[Cagey Mac]

King can play half, It's one of two preferred positions by Moltzen, Soward is also a half option with Style at 5/8

Here's a team of unlikely but legitimate selections. Regulars only where I have no option to do otherwise
1. Evander Cummins
2. Daniel Vidot
3. Chase Stanley
4. Tim Moltzen
5. Bronx Goodwin
6. Kyle Stanley
7. Cameron King
8. Leeson Au Mau
9. Mitch Rein
10. Jeremy Latimore
11. Josh Miller
12. Jack De Belin
13. Jake Marketo

14. Atelea Vea
15. Will Matthews

I'm looking forward to seeing these guys shape up in trials next year. It's not too shabby given Rein is the only one to have played in our last match

Looks good doesn't it. I'm hoping that we get back the grunt in the Forwards we lost after Costigan, smith & Saffy Left. People seem to forget how hard saffy used to run the ball... I.M.O Green and Greenfield are not big losses. Whats the status of Nick Emmett/D.Gower/J.Marketo... Have they officially left????

The lack of starch in our bench was evident and costly late in the season
I hope that we can retail both Emmett and Marketo but don't know their status

 

[Minh]

Mark Kocass , Boxhead Robinson and Ben Kusto

David Nui or Bui at half or 5/8 does anyone remember him.:sarcasm:

 

[Minh]

Im surprised Nick Emmett did not get a run this year especially during Origin time.

 

[juanfarkall]

Emmett seemed to be perpetually injured this year
